I cannot believe it’s September 30th already…
The leaves are falling, we have NHL pre-season drama, and teams continue to post cool hockey jobs!
Last week, one of my trusted peers in hockey said that I should start writing some more personal blurbs about my life in the newsletter - so here I am, excited to share with you all that I got engaged this past weekend!
If the Working in Hockey social pages don’t have as many posts as normal this week… I think you’ll understand why 🙂
My Favourite Role of the Week
It was a bit of a toss up this week, but I decided my favourite role is Team Photographer with the Utah Hockey Club! So many of you guys reached out about the role when I shared it on Instagram, and I believe that being a new organization, this role has the opportunity to do some really fruitful and impactful work!
Advice of the Week
I have 2 pieces of advice for you all this week. Number 1, catch up on sleep before the NHL season comes back next week. Number 2, create and maintain a Linkedin account.
I put a poll on Instagram a couple weeks ago asking how many of you use/check Linkedin; honestly I was surprised to see about 35% of you not using it regularly!
Linkedin is the single best way to not only connect with professionals online, but also just to stay up to date with the industry. As much as I network and chat with people on Linkedin, for me it’s much more about seeing what teams have accomplished, who is doing freelance work for what company, what community event my favourite team has coming up, etc. Stay in the know and get your name in the mix by following along and interacting with hockey brands + teams on Linkedin!
While you’re at it, follow Working in Hockey on there too - you’ll get to see countless hockey posts and job openings that I personally interact with 👋

The wonderful Abby Budgeon, currently CCM Hockey’s Manager of Brand Activations & Events, joined me on this week’s podcast episode!
It was a super insightful conversation into the strategy, planning, and preparation that goes into not only the large global events like CCM Hockey House and CCM 125, but the localized events and sales initiatives that they conduct through the year as well.
